  1. renewing a contract

    I really appreciate this post. It was EXACTLY the information I needed. Thank you!
  2. How much difference in pay do two year rn's get than four yr??

    I agree - I'm an LPN currently and I've started the long process of obtained my BSN. I don't think BSN nurses are better than a ADN, but I do think that they should make more - if nothing else then to help compensate for the expense of a longer educ...
  3. how much Indiana nurses make

    I've heard the VA pays pretty well too.
  4. how much Indiana nurses make

    One of my co-workers recently got her RN from Ivy Tech Columbus and took a job at Clarian - I don't know which divison it was. But according to her they offered 26 and then two dollars for swing shift differential - but she took a job in a specialty...
  5. I worked a double yesterday and today I called out!

    1) Thank god someone else has a significant other who DOES NOT understand nursing bullcrap. I just want to knock him up side the head sometimes. 2)Um... maybe you need another job? 3)I really dislike 'melodramatic' patients who can't understand that...
  6. LPN working as CNA

    There should be a limit to how much coverage you can provide. No one can be every where at once, and other managers should be helping cover if you've already covered and haven't had hardly any sleep. But, doing aide work gives nurses and insight as...
  7. LPN working as CNA

    I completely agree. If you are on-call you should be able to perform anything that might be necessary. I'm an LPN and several times I have done aide work when we are short. No, it's not easy as I was never an aide, but all nurses should be able to...
  8. Am I right that these things scare me enough to quit.`

    I agree - we're busy and understaffed, but WOW... Please - run screaming in the other direction. Do not place yourself in a position to put you're livelihood in jeopardy. I know it's hard to leave the residents that you've come to know and love, bu...
  9. Other Nurses/Other Shifts Not Doing Their Part?

    Wow - I thought I had it bad... Holy crap. I think that there will always be shift dissent - to a certain degree -because we're all overworked and most humans need someone to blame at least once in a while. I work nights and sometimes the day shift d...
  10. Getting Burnt Out

    You know, the minute I went to my first nursing home (first clinical setting) I knew I wanted to be a geriatric nurse. What can I say - I like old people :wink2:. The things they've seen and the history they've lived through is amazing. But this is...
  11. Assisting CNA's/not able to do my own work

    I know EXACTLY how you feel - when I was new nurse my aides pushed me around. Forunately I usually worked with a very experienced aide who was able to help teach to walk the fine line between directed my aides and being a big old (ahem)... well you ...
  12. Disrespectful Employees

    I have been an nurse for only a year and a half - definitely what most people would consider a 'fresh' nurse. I have worked only in LTC. I agree that I would never 'yell' at my boss - it's unproffesional.I would also like to think that we all know...
  13. how much Indiana nurses make

    Umm... you guys are seriously scaring me. I don't know what area of nursing you work in, but if you want money - you can get it. You'll have to work at a nursing home, but I've been in LTC for a year and a half and I'll be staying there until I get...
  14. LPN phasing out to be QMA's only

    I graduated from Ivy Tech Lafayette, and have been an LPN for a year and a half. Myself, and most of my LPN co-workers, are going back for their RN's. However, my instructors at Ivy Tech were LPN when they first started and apparently they were tol...
